Some of you may know the name Steve Hollander. He’s one of our longest-tenured employees, on board with COMC from its earliest days. In addition to being one of our first customers (he still sells on the site under the username SteveSC), Steve now handles a lot of responsibilities for us including Card Show drop-offs. Steve travels all over to various card shows, and if you find his booth you can drop off your COMC batches right there with him and save on postage. Card Show drop-offs are getting so popular, we thought it best to put up a convenient guide to where you can find Steve over the coming months.

Look for Steve at his booth, wearing a Check Out My Cards shirt. He’s happy to take your drop-offs and answer any questions you may have about COMC.
A couple of notes about card drop-offs: Dropped off cards will still be charged our normal processing rates. We’ll ask you to fill out a receipt where you can indicate what processing service you would like. We prefer that you follow the instructions online to fund your account by mail or with a credit card. Please pack your cards carefully and appropriately in a box (no binders, no loose cards).
Steve, you have the best job on the planet.
Are you guys planning to attend Twinsfest in Minnesota this Jan/Feb?
With all the complaints people have made about marketing I am disappointed there are not more comments in response to this. There are 4 major shows that are well outside of the normal COMC marketing area, including the CSA show in DC, the Canadian (hockey) National in Toronto, Sun Times in Chicago, and TriStar in Houston. This is a large advertising campaign and expense that I think is very well targeted to reach card collectors that are not currently using COMC.
Two thumbs up to COMC for taking this approach to marketing!! I sure can’t think of a better way to reach card collectors. I look forward to seeing Steve in DC and Chicago and hopefully setting up there too.
I met Steve at the Chantilly Show today, it was a pleasure! COMC is definitely one of the best resources in the hobby today.
I saw Steve Saturday. He’s a great ambassador for the site.
Met Steve on Friday, and was back at the show on Sunday with a box of cards for him to bring back to Wa. for me. Selling cards with no shipping charges what could be better than that?
